14 Can’t Beg for it 1 (1/2)
”Jonah! Let's go to the first grocery!” She suddenly blurted out in the middle of the hallway near their hotel suit.
”Huh? Miss, we are in a hotel… We can just order…” Jonah said but stopped mid-sentence as Han Jie ignored him but walked past him quickly.
The grocery store near the hotel was big. She first bought gummy bears and gave them to Jonah before getting some more things that she needed for the next day.
He smiled bemusedly and nodded his thanks for the gummy bears. Then he curiously looked at the things Han Jie was putting in the cart.
”Ah, what are the packaging tapes for miss?” Jonah asked. There were also red and yellow paint, ketchup, brushes. Some other things that he could not comprehend how Han Jie planned to use.
'Is this for work?' He asked himself. They were only staying in a hotel for two nights and she did not need to work at all.
With a grin, ”Don't worry I will wrap myself with the tapes tomorrow so I would be so sexy.” She said with a bright smile on her face.
”Really?” Jonah asked. He could feel that Han Jie was lying. She just gave him a knowing smile until they left the grocery.
When they got to the hotel Han Jie quickly called her father.
”Hello father, I need help.” She immediately blurted out.
”Jie'er! How are you? Jonah told me you weren't feeling well I hope all is well now. What were you eating for you to have a stomach ache? We cannot cancel the dinner tomorrow!” he replied with anger and a hint of worry.
Han Jie rolled her eyes. Give it to his father to rant a lot the moment he talked to her.
”I'm better father. Why are you always angry?” She gave a thumbs-up to Jonah for not mentioning anything else aside from her 'stomach ache'. ”But never mind that, we need to talk.”
”Talk what? I have things to do, like look for your sister.” he barked,sounding tired.
”Father I can't go through with this engagement. This is not right.” She said sounding sad but with determination in her voice.
Her father sighed over the phone. ”When I get there tomorrow we'll talk.”
”Father, is there no other way? Why not try to seduce the old lady of the Suzuki household instead and marry her? She is a widow right?” she asked cheekily. Han Jie remembered going to J country in the Suzuki clan for the burial of the family master who was Han Feng's close friend.
After that, she had no other news from them. It was better to say that she was not interested in any other member of the Suzuki clan. She was only interested in a particular Suzuki that was currently staying spreading his business in City P.
Han Jie though vaguely remembered as well that the master doesn't have any son. So she immediately assumed that her sister was marrying a close relative that was probably chosen or candidate as the next head if it was a big thing for her father.
